The Synod of the United Brethren (Moravians) which met last summer at Herrnhut, consisted of more than fifty deputies, from the various establishments of this religious society, in various parts of the world. This conference lasted four months. It is expected that the Moravian establishments, particularly those in Russia, at the Cape of Good Hope, and in North America, will derive great benefit from the result of the recent discussions at Herrnhut. The recently established University at Bonn, on the Rhine, promises to become one of the most important in Germany. It has lately receiv ed very valuable donations from distinguished gentlemen. The minister of the state, Freyherr Von Stein, presented to this University his select cabinet of minerals, formerly of Nassau.

Adam Stewart, of Baltimore, (Md) has invent ed a machine for making bricks, which, it is said, renders unnecessary the process of wetting the clay to the consistency of mortar, moulding, and drying. It is alleged that a single horse power, with this machine, will construct about 2,000 bricks per hour for the kiln. Query. Is this machine similar to the one which was exhibited at Washington some years ago? Duels are very frequent in France of late. The freedom of the press, to the limited degree in which it exists in that country, tends more to inAlame than to appease the prevailing animosities of the different factions. Those who can wield the pen, write; but those who are more of a military than of a literary turn, use a sharper instrument than a goose-quill, and they fight. The British frigate Forth, captain Lewis, în 13 days from Halifax, (Nova Scotia,) has proceeded up the Chesapeake Bay, to take on board, at Annapolis, Mr. Bagot, the British minister, and fami ly, who are now there on their return to England. A recent arrival from France brings the information, that the king had dissolved the House of Deputies. A new election would, of course, take place. This power of dissolution is borrowed from the British constitution, which enables the sovereign to dissolve the House of Commons when he pleases. The session of the French House of Peers has, it is also stated, been sus, Mr. Graham, the new minister of the United States to the court of Rio Janeiro, will depart in a few days for his destination. The frigate Congress, assigned for his conveyance thither, has arrived at Annapolis. President's Tour-In passing through North Carolina, the President of the United States has been every where received with a respect and cordiality due to a popular chief magistrate of the Union. He is, by this time, at Charleston, whence, we presume, he will proceed to Savannah. Board of Claims.-The National Intelligencer,pended. of the 22d instant, recommends the establishment of a board, for the adjustment of private claims, as a short and saving method of settling affairs of that kind. The matter, however, appears in a very dif. ferent light to us. The decision of the board would not, we think, prevent the claimants' appeal to Congress. The right of petition cannot be checked by the legislature, and most of the persons thrown out by the board, would, in all probability, resort to the Senate and House of Representatives. What, in effect, are the accounting officers of the Treasury, but so many boards of claims? They have already authority to puss ali || legal claims. To go farther than this, would be to institute a board of equity, and thus introduce a regular chancery jurisdiction into the fiscal concerns of the government. If the board were bound to report the cases decided upon to Congress, the members would have to examine for themselves, or to act blindly upon the mere dictum of the board of claims. In no point of view, indeed, does such a thing appear to recommend itself to serious consideration. Brief Notices of Events.-The United States' sloop of war Ontario arrived at Rio Janeiro (Brazil) the latter end of February last. Bonapartists-Lewis XVIII. has created a new batch of peers, among whom are some of the most distinguished of Napoleon's marchals. This has galled the pride of some of the old noblesse; but others have sense enough to think better of it. The king of France appears to act with great judgment in the management of affairs. He is opposed to the ultra-royalists, who desire him to return to those ancient feudal principles, so unsuited to the age, and the attempt to re-establish which would not fail to bring about another revolution, No. 18.] THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
